A SCANDAL IN SAVANNAH.
The Postoffice Accounts ST 600 Short-A Row
Between the Blue Bloods.

SAVANNAH, Oct 5-Captain Williamson, a
postofice inspector, icame to Savannah on Friday
and has been up to his ears in work ever since.
To-day he had desk covered with postage
stamps of all denominations, which he sort
ing out and counting. Col Clifford Anderson,
the assistant postmaster, was standing by, look
ing on while an account of stock was being taken.
The books and accounts are confused and
Captain Williamson was sent down here to
straiehten them out. On Saturday night after
he had left the Office. there was sensational
scene between Postmaster @. w. Lamar and his
assistant. They got into dispute about the
affairs of the Office. and the dialogue was excit-
ing. Finally MIR. Lamar sent out for a police
man to have Colonel Anderson elected. When
the officer came Major Lamar said:
Il order you to arrest that man for disorderly
conduct"
II order you to arrest that man for conduct
unbecomiue a gentleman" countermanded Col
onel Anderson.
Major Lamar repeated his order, and Colonel
Anderson, folding his arms across his breast
exclaimed threatennely to the policeman:
Il warn you that if rou lay hands upon me in
this government building / will hold you and
your euperlors responsible"
The policeman reflected that he was on gov
ernment property, and he did not make the
arrest.
Major Lamar then sent for Cen Robert FL.
Anderson, chief of police. and brother of Colonel
Anderson. The postmaster and General Ander-
tried to get the vault key from the assistant,
but he refused to turn it over
Another scene was expected this morning upon
Colonel Andersons arrival at the Office, but there
was zone He got there at III o'clock and found the
inspector hard at work. Later in the day Col
mel Anderson was asked by q reporter if he had
resigned. Il have not" he replied emphatically.
Then he drew from his watch pocket stout
iron key, and said that it was the key to the
vault He added that he intended to keep the
key, and would give it up at ones request
until the examination is completed by Captain
Williamson. Tonight, however, the inspector
has it. Colonel Anderson held out for good
while that he would go to Jail before he would
scrrender the key, but finally gave it up.
So far can be learned. the accounts are
about 81, 900 short. This may be the result of
bad book keeping. or it may have been taken.
From a significant remark which Colonel Ander-
son made it would be inferred that it has been
stolen. He asked il there were not other
keys TO the vault and he evaded a adirect answer
and replied: There some id thieves in
the office"
The examination of accounts will not be COM
peted for two three days yet The post
master will appoint another assistant.

AN IRISH VICTORY.

Failure of the Prosecutions Brought Against

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
LONDON Oct 6-The action of the court in

Sullivan and Mr.. O'Brien after the short season
of bluster the part of the Dublin officials
brings the bunghng methods CT the government
to a climax and hastens the expression of En-

drive the purblind blunderers from power Il
is now patent to every body that to govern Ire
land by means of the coercion laws is utterly
impossible. and to one is this fact more
plainly apparent than to the Ministers them
selves. Bad as these laws were. had the gov
ernment been content TO enforce them fairly and
fully when their application necessary they
might have found abundant support in England
and little violent opposition in Ireland,
but the power the new statutes
conferred upon the Irish officials,
from the Dublin executive down to the most
recently appointed constable, has in every

court to convict Messrs. Sullivan and OBrien
than does Mr.. Balfour Mr. O'Briens release at
Mitchelstown, pending his appeal, was
blow to the pride of the Irish secretary, and the
subsequent speeches and triumphal progress of
Mr.. O'Brien have still further exasperated him.
IL Mr.. O'Brien could have been convicted to-day
he would have been sent to Jail Immediately and
kept there until the period of his appeal mad ex-
pired, when his original sentence would go into
effect AS it is now, it is extremely unlikely
that the sentence imposed upon United Irelands
editor will ever be carried out and Mr.. Balfour

things his political enemy has said of him.
The government has ordered the suspension of
the Gweedore evictions, in consequence of the
discovery that English public opinion is deci-

strengthened by the fact that the police unhesi-

stem the strong current of popular opinion, be-

would seem to be drawing very nearly to an end.
